Final score: Torpedo Kutaisi 0–3 Zira

Match preview

Torpedo Kutaisi will be hoping to continue their strong start to the UEFA Europa Conference League campaign when they host Zira on July 16, 2026. The Georgian side arrives in confident mood, having secured three wins, one draw, and just one loss in their last five outings, scoring seven and conceding four in the process. Their 60% win rate highlights a team in good rhythm, keen to capitalize on home advantage.

In stark contrast, Zira face a daunting challenge, entering this fixture without a win in their last three matches, recording one draw and two defeats. Their struggles are further emphasized by a poor defensive record, having shipped nine goals while scoring six in those same three games. With a 0% win rate recently, Zira will need a significant turnaround in form to trouble their hosts. The bookmakers see this as an evenly poised contest despite the contrasting form, with all three outcomes - home win, draw, or away win - holding a 33% probability. Watch for Torpedo's attacking prowess against Zira's shaky backline, a key battle that could dictate the flow of this European encounter.
